This model is expected to arrive with a 6-inch screen with 1080 x 2160 pixel resolution, 18:9 aspect ratio and a glass with a 2.5D finish. Its processor will be from Qualcomm, an octa-core Snapdragon 660 and should be available with 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage.

Then there are other details, namely the words that appear in the upper left corner of the screen, Namaste, and the centre below the date, Raj Sharma, which may reveal that the smartphone may soon appear in India.

The success of Nokia

HMD Global has been betting heavily on the mid and low ranges in order to reach a large number of customers, and although it seems that its smartphones are not yet conquering a large number of users, the truth is that the results of the Nokia were surprisingly positive.

In the last quarter of the year, the Finnish brand even beat some well-known competitors. According to Neil Shah of CounterPoint Research, Nokia did quite well in the last quarter of the year it sold 4.4 million units. In total, in 2017, the Finnish brand sent 8.7 million devices to the market.
